To allwhomz'tmag concern: r

I Be it known that I, VVILLIAM ASHLEY KELLY, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing inJersey City, in the countyof Hudson and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in InvoiceSheets, of which the following is a specification. p g a This inventionrelates to entry-sheets for use in: a typewriting machine, such,forexample, as an invoice-sheet, bill-sheet or statement-sheet upon whichsuccessive items are entered'from time to time or from day to day for asuitable period, commonly until the end of a month, when the completedstatement is sent to the customer. Such sheets have beencommonlyprovided with a detachable left-hand marginal part or lateral filingmargin for temporarily binding or filing the entry-sheet between thetimes of the typing of the successiveentries or items thereon.This'filing margin is torn off before sending the invoice'or statementto the customer," in order thereby to give aneat and pleasing appearanceto the sheet, particularly as the detachable filing margin is commonlyprovidedwith' a plurality of large holes for use in the temporary filingor binding ofthe' entry-sheet. By reason ,of the repeated insertion ofthe entry-sheet into the typewriting chine, the top or leadingedge'thereof and particularly the upper corners have a tendency" tobecome worn, and "frayed, sothat by the time the end of the monthisreached, the invoice, bill or statement is not-in a neat orpresentable condition for sending tothe customer." This poor or damagedcondition of the sheet has been in large part caused by the tendency ofthe corners at the top .or leading end of the sheet to catch upon partsof the typewriting machine. Also, this catching of the cornersinterferes, of course, with the running of the sheets through thetypewritingmachine.

An important object of the invention is to facilitate the insertion inthe typewriting machine of an ,entry-sheethaving detachable filingmargin, while leavingthe entrycontaining body part of the sheet insymmetrical shape for sendingto the customer after the filing margin hasbeen torn off. In this connection another'object of the invention is toproduce an entry-sheet in which. the part whi'ch is to be sent to thecuscoMrAnY, or new YORK,

noticeable evidence of wear N. A CORPORATION OF DELA- tomer will notpresent fraying or other im perfection due to having been put throughthe typewriting machine many times.

According to the present invention, the entry-sheet has rounded rightand left upper corners and comprises a body part for receiving thesuccessive items or entries, a

detachable lateralmarginal part at one side of the body part andproviding for the temporary filing of the sheet between the thetypewriting machine repeatedly, and

extension projecting successive entries, and

when said detachable lateral filing marginal part and said lateralextension have been 'bothdetached'from the main or body part of theentry-sheet, this body part will be of pleasing symmetrical appearancefor sending to the customer,"and also this body part will befree fromtearing, fraying or from having been passed repeatedly through thetypewriting machine. i i

Other features and advantages will hereinafter appear.

"In the accompanying drawings, the figure shown is a plan or face Viewof an invoicesheet or statement-sheet embodying the invention. i

The statement-sheet or invoice-sheet, illustrated in the accompanyingdrawing, comprises a main body part A, which, in this particular sheet,is shown as made up of an item-receiving lower part 1 upon which thevarious items may be successively entered, and an upper detachable stubpart 2 to contain the eustomers address and to berreturned by'him withhis check,as heretofore has been customary. The stub 2Jis shown asjoined to the entry-carrying part lgby means of perforations 3, asheretofor 'The entry-sheet is provided at the left side of the body partA thereof with a filing margin or lateral marginal part 4 havingtherethrough large holes 5, shown astwo in number, for convenience intemporarily binding or filing the entry-sheet by this marginal side part4. This lateral upper corners and comprising a body part for havingsuccessive entries typed thereon, a lateral filing marginal part at theleft side of the body part and detachably connected therewith along aweakened line of detachment providing for easy detachment of the filingmarginal part from the body part when the entries on the body part arecomplete, the filing marginal part having holes therethrough for thepurpose of filing the entry-sheet between the times of the making of thesuccessive entries on the body part thereof, and a lateral extensionprojecting from the right side of the body part and detachably connectedtherewith along a weakened line of detachment providing for easydetachment of said lateral extension from the body part when the entrieson the body part are complete, the upper left rounded corner of theentry-sheet being carried by the filing marginal part, and the upperright rounded corner of the entrysheet being carried by said lateralextension, whereby the repeated insertion of the entry-sheet in thetypewriting machine is facilitated by said rounded corners, and alsowhereby the upper end of the body part will be left in symmetrical shapewith square right and left upper corners after the detachment therefromof said filing marginal part and said lateral extension.
